An analytic study of Fisher’s equation by using Adomian decomposition method. (English) Zbl 1054.65107
Summary: We develop a framework to obtain exact solutions to Fisher’s equation and to a nonlinear diffusion equation of the Fisher type by employing Adomian decomposition method. The proposed scheme is supported by examining nonlinear diffusion equations of the Fisher type.
